Loaded Cor Bear. There are two young men in the com posing room of tho Sun office who, if they know their own hearts desire to load different lives. Sometime ago they pledged each other to quit the use of tobacco, that vile vegetable which ucithcr cheers nor inebriates, and the one who should first he caught with to bacco in his mouth was to stand the ex pense of oysters for both, lint the forco of habit was strong with lleury, und one day, in an unguarded moment, he spit tobacco juice on the floor, and Clar ence noticed it and claimed the oysters. "Xot any oysters," said lleury, 'l'iu chewing licorice.' "I don't believe it,' said Clarence "you're chewing tobacco.' "I'll bet you ten cents I ain't chew ing tobacco," said Henry, drawing out a dime and laying it on the composing stoue. This was a staggerer to Clar ence ; he felt that he had gone too fat aud was sorry ho enlisted "Put up or shut up," said Ilenry,and thus taunted Clarcr.ue drew out a dime and covered the money on tho stone. He expected to lose, ot course, but he could uot bear the contumely of being bluffed. But ou exploring Henry's mouth it wus found that ho did have to bacco; an enormous old soldier was brought to light, and Clarence raked iu | the funds. From that moment the iron seemed to enter Henry's soul, and his one object in living was to get cveu with Clarence. A few days afterward he weut about the office "spitting black," and taking par ticular paius that Clarence should see him. Clarence did see him, aud also uoticed the paius Henry stcmcd to be taking to attract his attention. He therefore drew his own conclusions, aud made up hia mind that Henry was en deavoring Co cutrap hiui into another bet, but this time with licorice. So he said iu order to opeu the conversation : "What have you got in your mouth, Hank 1" "l.ioorice," said Henry, innocently, "that's what 1 thought," said Clar toce "You wouldn't bet that its licorice, would you ?" asked Henry. "Yes, I would ; I'll bet you ten cents it's licorice." "I won't bet such a small amount," laid Henry, evidently trying to sueak out. Aftetagood deal of desultory talk, back aud forward, Henry at last offer ed to wager twenty-five cents that he had tobacco iu his mouth. Tho stakes were put up, when lleury put his tongue down into his jaw and tamed up a quid of £uc old navy plug and raked iu the aickcls. Then he spit out the to baeeo, and in doing so hit mouth became unmanageable and out dropped a tuuip of licorice also ! He was loaded for bear and had Clarcuce foul whichever way he might bet. The True Vulue. If you want the results of work, you must do the work which brings the re sults. The cost of production is the measure of worth iu well-nigh every branch i.f the world's commerce. What a thing bus cost, or what would be tho cost of of its duplicating, settles the question of its market value. Aud if you want the results of character, you must first have the character. Charac ter is finally measured by weight, not by show. Tho yeast of pretension may puff out a loaf of character fur bcyoud its real substance; but when it is put into the scales of the world's criiicism the loafs weight wdl inevitably be shown. Iu the long run, no one gains from as sumption or pretense. "The leven of the I'burisecs which is hypocrisy" has power only for a season. —S. S. Times. • DANBURY, N. C„ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1882. Irwin's Romance. ■I)o you love music V she asked. •Passionately,' replied Irwin. 'I can whistle 'The Skids are Out To-day' per fectly, and I never heard it before hut week.' 'How quite !' suid Myrtle. 'Altogether too too,' was the answer, in low soft tones that made tho gill feel instantly that he loved her. 'They tell me you are very wicked, Mr. Mullican,' said Myrtle, as the sound of a Straufs waltz floated in froui the ball-room. 'lsit so !' 'Well, I have always tried to keep up with the procession,' was the answer. 'I suppose you hate me for that?' 'Oh, no,'responded the girl, quickly 'lt's the namby-pamby men that are distasteful to me. 1 like a man whose blood ruus wine not water.' Irwin did not answer. 'lf she had said sour mash instead of wine,' he mur mured to himself, 'I could have a front scat in her affections.' 'I)o you like Gladstone?' she asked suddenly. 'No,' said Irwin. 'I lost eighty dol lars on him yesterday. He was beaten in a mile dash at the fair grounds.' "Can I ever love this man !' asked Myrtle of herself as they parted that night. «C'an 1 give my soul to one who docsu't know the great statesmau from a tbrec-ycar-old colt!' * # • 4 Two weeks later they were betrothed Old Jerry'* Philosophy. A man would be a heap better off cf he was aspcrticler 'bout da whiskey he drinks as he is 'bout de water. As a tight shoe makes a hard place on dc heel, so docs a tight fittcn nature make a callus place on dc soul. It is dc helplessness of dis worl' dat appeals to Christ. Dc prar ob thanks fur prosperity ain't half so earnest as de prar axiu fur help. De grave looks deeper to a child den it docs tcr an 010 man. Misery loves company, but I'druthcr hub dc rheuuiatiz in one leg den tcr hab it in bofe. A child born now has more to lam dcu dc ehillun ob days gone by. De chile ob tcu years ago didn't hab to laru 'bout do telephone. When I was a chile 1 didn't hab to larn 'bout de tele graph. George Washington didn't hab to larn 'bout dc revolver.

Artcr a while, in order to be 'spectable, a ten year 010 boy will hab ter be putty well edicatod. I'nexpcctad Criticism. One of the most elqoucnt and popu lar Clergymen of Austin, Texas, being about to ascend the steps leading to his church a few Sundays ago, was asked by a partially blind old lady, who did not rceognizo him to help her up tho steps. With his usual uibanity he complied with her request. Just as they reached the top stops she asked him who was going to preach. "Parson Smith,'' he replied, that being his own name. "0 Lord!" exclaimed the old lady. "Help me down again. I'd rather listen to a man sawing wood, l'lease help me down again. I don,t care to go in." At first the clergyman was inclined to refuse, but on reflection, he gently assisted licr down tho steps again' remarking as they reuchcd the bottom: "You are quite right, madam, about not going into tho church. I wouldu't go in either if I was not paid for it." Hydrophobia und Tobacco The Krwry boy whose sufferings from hydrophobia have been terrible, ap pears to be getting better every day A marired peculiarity iu the boy's ease is that ho craves cigars. The boy's father says he never knew him to use tobacco in any form. He called for a cigar on last Wednesday for tho first time, which was given him. He smoked it entirely up without shewing any signs of sickness from its effects, but, ou the coutrary, seemed greatlv soothed. He has smoked three or four cigars since, and each one seems to do liiiu a grcut deal of good. A young man who visited a Sunday school was asked at the close of the les sons to address the children, which bo did, commencing, "My dear young friends, mutability is stamped on all sublunary objects." The children were not prepared to dcoy the accuracy of the statement. Manger:; arc the shadows of virtues. rei'Nonulitles uud 111 Uc|»orl*. Keep clear of personalities in general conversation. Talk of things, objects, thoughts. The smallest minds occupy themselves with persons. Personalities must sometimes be talked, because wc have to learn and find out niuu's charac teristics for ligitimate objects, but it must be wilh confidoutial persons. Poor Hums wrote and did many foolish thiugs, but he was wise when he wrote to a young friend : "Aye, tell your story free, oil-hand. When wi' a bosom crony; But still keep something to yoursel' You'll scarcely tell to ony." Do not uecdlcssly report ill of others. There are times when wc are compelled to say, "1 do not thini Bouneer a true aud honest man." But when^there is no need to express an "ptdfen let poor Bo.tncer swagger awavt will take his measure no doubt, and save you the trouble of analyzing him and in structing them. And as far as possible dwell on the good side of human beings. There are futuily boards where a con stant process of depreciating, assigning motives and cutting up character goes forwurd. They are not pleasant pluces. Ouc who is heaithy does not wish t/> dine at a dissecting table. There is evil enough in men, j«>d kuows. But it is not the mission of every young man and woman to detail and report it all. Keep the atmosphere as pure as possible, and fragrant with gentleness and charity.— Dr. John Hall. The IrreprcsHiiileMiuull 9!oy. The veteran Owcu Con I in, who for years did excellent service iu "mending the ways" of the youth of the country, met a diminutive boy with a long cigar in his mouth, on th; street, one day re cently. "How old are you, my son ?" in quir ed Owen. "Fourteen, sir," was the polite re ply. "What are you doing ?" "Smoking." "How long have you smoked ?" "Four years." "Ah, my son, I have lived seventy years, and ncvei yet learned to smoke tobacco." Drawing himself up to hie full height, the polite youth toplied : '•You darned oiil fool, nobody's to blame but yersclf; you might have leaint!" Owen declares that he shall never try to reform the youth of this country again. While we arc dreaming, and resolving, and wishing, golden opportunities arc passing swiftly by If wc would catch them we must be up and doing. The great fountain of love, implanted within our hearts, must bo kept opcu und al lowed to flow forth freely if we would keep the waters puro aud sweet. Though we have not the riches of earth with which to coutributc to the world's evangelization, or to relieve the wants of the poor and needy, yet wo can give that which is far better and more endur ing to many hearts—precious words of loving sympathy. We can extend the warm and friendly hand-clasp, we can give the eucouragiug and cheerful suiile, which shall make glad and inspire new hope iu many »n aching, suffering heart. Got Awat With Him Aoain ! "Howl enjoy the return of Saturday night," said Senator Vance in the horse car riding up fiom the Senate. "Yes," rejoined Senator Hoar, if you were a Republican you might join with Dr. Watts iu saying : How pleasant is Saturday night When I've tried all week to lie good." "Not being a llepublicau," returned the North Carolinian, "1 can't tell a lie like that." Senator Hoar offered Senator Yunce his hat, which was declined quietly but firmly.

Myrtle and Billy were standing in the lyillway, her arms twined about biin iu the ecstasy of j love. • 'And you will love me always Billy!' ; Myrtle said, softly. j 'Yes, my precious one, forrevcr and j ever.' 'And when shall we be married'' came iu low, dulcet tones from the girl, as her head nestled confidingly above his liver-pad. Now was Colonel Billy's longed-for opportunity. Two yaars before, Myrtlo had laughed a merry, heartless laugh when ha bad seated himself in a pie at a picnic. Drawing himself up proudly, he said, whilo a lemon-like suiile flitted over his clear-cut features : 1 will marry you, Myrtle.' 'riut when *'pleaded the girl. 'When the Washington monument is completed,' lie answered, aud with a hol low, uioeking laugh, he fled into tho darkness, leaving her in the front hall, aloue aud desolate. Nuytalnlug Her Reputation. Young Hostetter McUhinuis, one of the fashionable young bloods of Austin, took a young lady to church Sunday evening. As he had been up quite late the night before, ho was very sleepy, consequently he did not flirt with the young lady as he had heretofore beeu iu the habit of doing iu church. "What is the matter with you ?" she whispered. "I am uot fecliug well," he whispered back. "You wake up and giggle a little, anyhow. If we don't misbehave our selves in church, people will think we arc married, and 1 want you to under stand I've got a reputation to sustaiu. After that Hostetter McGhinuis and the young lady acted so improperly that the sexton had to go aud whisper to them to keep quiet. The True Woman. 'Oh, missus,' cxrlaiiced Bridget, as she appeared, pale and trembling, before | her mistress at 10 I'. M.; 'there'ssome body trying to get in the front door. •Is it u goat, Bridget!' , 'No 'uui.' 'ls it a woman V X' , •No UUI. 'ls it a man V 'Yes 'uni.' •tiood looking?' 'Yes 'am.' •Well, let him come in.' The courage of a true woman never fails her. J T. T. Fortune, the colored editor of ! the New York Globe, has written a letter to one of his race in Memphis in which ho says: "The salvation of the colored man in the South will depend in the future upon tho measure of suo cess with which ho comes to appreciate the fact that he must become intelligent and act in political concert with those with whoine he is so closely identified, and this feeling must of necessity be re ciprocated by tho whites as well." There is a world of common sense in this, but political common sense is at a discount in these days. A Great Orr Bank. —The iron ore bank at Craberry in Mitchel county j which is being operated by a j Pennsylvania company, promises to be the most remarkable one ever worked iin this country. Tho vein has already been operated reventy feet and promises to reach a thicknoss of 120 feet, and the supply seems inexhaustible. The company has spent $1,000,000 in a railroad aud ore land investments, and will operate the mines on an extensive scale, proposing to take out 1,000 tons por day. Dr. Cbapin was dining at a hotel aud was served with what was callod barley soup on the bill of fare. "That is not barley soup, "said he to the waiter, "it is barely soup." On another occasion, while traveling in tho South with his wife, who wus uncommonly dark j complcxioucd, he addressed an old colored man as "uuclc." "How happens it, "said his wife, roguishly, "that that colored man is your uuclc!" "lie is my uncle by marriage, I suppose." A boy catuc heme from shool very much oxcile l and told bis father that he believed ill human beings were descend ed from apes, which made the old man , so mad that ho replied angrily 'That ; may be the caie with yon, but it ain't j wilh me; I can tell you that, now.' Democratic I'latl'orm. Wc congratulate the people of North Carolina on the era of peace, prosperity and good government which has been unbroken since tho incoming of a Dem ocratic State administration ; upon the pure and impartial administration of jus tice and the honest enforcement of the laws; upon the cfficieucy of our common school system aud great advance made in education, aud the general improve ment and enterprise manifested in every part of the State, and wc plcdgo our selves to exert all efforts to advance the material interests of all sections of the State iu the future as wc buvo done in the ■as "\: H we challenge a comparison between a Democratic administration of our State affairs and the crimes, out rages aud scandals that accompanied Itcpublionn uusrulo.

We favor such a revision of the tariff as will produce a revenue sufficicuce for the economical support of the government, with such lucideutul protection us will give to do mestic manufactures a fair competition with those of foreign production. That there should be an immediate repeal of all laws imposing a direct tux for the support of the government of the Unit ed Stutcs, but if it should prove imprac ticable to abolish the internal revenue system with all its attending demoraliz ation fraud and corruption, then we urge upon our Senators and Represen tatives iu Congress tho importance of so amcuding tho luw that the revenue offi cers who uow reocive in salaries iu North Caroliua alone more than §500,000 shall be elected by the people of the localities to which they are assigned. Resolved, That the course of the Dem ocratic party since its accession to pow er iu North Carolina iu furtherance of popular education is a sufficient guaran ty that we earnestly favor the educatiou of all classes of our people, aud that we will advocate any legislation looking to an increase of the fund for that purpose that will not materially iticrcasc the present burdens of our people.
